Health and wellness have certainly changed through the years! We are now in the Self-Care era! We have access to the internet, and lots of information from news media, magazines and social media. Every Thursday, I have set aside to be known as Technical Thursday.
I would like to share one form of DNA testing. I have used Smartlife DNA from VYVO, about a year ago to find out what I need to do to help my body function at its prime. We have all heard of DNA testing to find out our heritage, but this is different.
The importance of Genetics: The answers lie in your genes.
DNA is the genetic material in your cells that determine your traits. You inherit this genetic material half from your mother and half from your father. It governs your physical appearance like your skin color, hair color and height, as well as your predisposition to certain health conditions.
They evaluate the following which are influenced by your genes:
- Increased blood cholesterol
- General obesity index
- Relative resting metabolic rate
- Fast twitch muscle fiber activity
- Vitamin (eg. A,D) and folate/folic acid metabolism
- Addictive behaviors
- And more!
Your report also helps you understand the interactions between your genes, diet and exercise in terms of:
- Sugar and carbohydrate metabolism
- Alcohol and caffeine metabolism
- Dietary fat intake and response to blood cholesterol
- Lactose intolerance and bone health
- Exercise potential with power and endurance
- And More!
